Maybe implementing a subset of Markdown would be a good thing. I am thinking about bold, italics, inline code, and code block, mostly. Oh, and links.

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." โ Sid Meyersreplied to@ryansepassiprofilefollow:I think so. It could even be made a setting, defaulting it to off. I think it would be useful, especially is self-hosted for a tech community.

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." โ Sid Meyers:Instead of what to add I'm always asking myself what can be avoided or what can I take out. Adding features is easy. Minimalism is hard.

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." โ Sid Meyers:I've tested MD and honestly I don't like it. Bold/italics add unnecessary noise/clutter and the font is already monospace, suited for code, so inline code & code fences are not needed. If 3rd party clients want to implement them it's fine but I'm sensitive to visual noise.

creator of textlog:I agree with this. The core you're building is around a deliberate minimalist philosophy. I was happy to build an opinionated client for my own use-case, but it should imo stay on the fringes for those seeking it.

Make it easy for users to export polygons. My municipal GIS didn't for some reason so I had to guess by moving the mouse around and manually type the coordinates into Marble.
